His face was enlarged on that large screen, and it was a face that made every woman’s heart race!
Harmony felt a bit bewildered. What did Ezekiel mean just now by saying, ‘See you in a bit’?
Where would they meet? Did it mean that after presenting the award, he wouldn’t return to his seat? Was he planning to leave from the backstage?
That was what Harmony presumed. She looked toward the stage excitedly and saw Ezekiel receiving the envelope containing tonight’s award. His slender fingers opened it and took out a card, which revealed the name written on it.
“Mr. Weiss, I believe you already know tonight’s winner of the Golden Peony Award. Please announce it for us!” the host said excitedly.
Ezekiel took the microphone, looked down at the audience, and, in his deep, captivating voice, announced a name.
“Harmony Mayo.”
Just as Harmony was mesmerized by Ezekiel’s graceful demeanor, she suddenly heard her name, and her mind felt like it exploded, as if she had misheard it.
Was it her imagination? Did Ezekiel just say her name? Did she hear things?
At that moment, the director from the row behind her hurried over and tapped her. “Harmony, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up and go receive the award!”
“Is it really me?” she turned to ask the director because she wasn’t sure if it was really her.
“Yes, it’s you!”
“Miss Harmony Mayo, please come on stage.” Ezekiel’s voice was gentle yet full of authority onstage, and his smiling demeanor directly charmed the group of women below the stage.
It was unbelievable.
Harmony confirmed it, it was indeed her!
She stood up and felt a bit awkward as she walked under the admiring gazes of everyone.
Catalina clenched her fists in jealousy. How could it be Harmony? Was there something fishy here? It must be because of Ezekiel’s connections that Harmony was chosen.
“It’s her again. She just got the Best Actress Award recently. Is she going to take all the awards this year?” one female artist complained.
“Yeah!” Another agreed.
Catalina joined their conversation, saying, “The man on stage is Harmony’s sugar daddy. Who can compete with her?”
“How did she manage to hook up with this man? I’ve never heard of this President of the Weiss Group.”
“Of course, you haven’t heard of him. He’s from Dansbury, and half of Dansbury’s assets belong to his family,” Catalina said jealously.
Other artists shook their heads and wondered how Harmony managed to entice him. Harmony was extremely excited, and her mind was in a daze. As she ascended the steps to the stage, she tripped and stumbled down before kneeling on the stairs.
Just when she felt utterly embarrassed and wished she could disappear on the spot, a large hand reached out in front of her. She extended her hand without a word. He grasped it, pulled her up, and then held her waist. He guided her to the center of the stage.
“Miss Mayo, you’ve won another award. Can you share your feelings?” The host came over for a quick interview.
“I’m extremely excited. I can’t believe it,” Harmony answered truthfully.
“Haha! Miss Mayo, you’re so honest, but this is a testament to your ability. You deserve it.” The host laughed. “Next, let’s invite our guest of honor, Mr. Weiss, to present tonight’s Golden Peony Award to Miss Harmony Mayo. Congratulations!”
The audience erupted in applause. Meanwhile, at the fifth row on the left, Reuben looked like he had been struck by a nerve, and his face was extremely unsightly. How could he feel happy seeing Harmony not only have a wealthy sugar daddy but also thrive in her career?
As the staff brought the trophy on a tray, Ezekiel reached out, picked it up, and handed it to Harmony. “Congratulations, Miss Mayo.”
Tears of excitement welled up in Harmony’s eyes. She looked up at the smiling man and finally realized that when he said, ‘See you in a bit, he meant seeing her on stage!
